Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.
In October last year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Concord; and Chrysoprase, from Die Oberfläche (The Surface) (D. 167.1, 167.4) by Josef Albers. The »bidding war« ended at USD 4,788.00 (€ 4,819.81), 60% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Josef Albers achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Homage to the Square in May this year with an auction result of USD 2,954,000.00 (€ 2,772,667.54).

Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Concord; and Chrysoprase, from Die Oberfläche (The Surface) (D. 167.1, 167.4) von Josef Albers zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 4.788,00 (€ 4.819,81) und damit 60% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Josef Albers erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Homage to the Square im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.954.000,00 (€ 2.772.667,54).
